Mole Day

"Look Sandy- there is a strange critter peeking out of the hole. Its claws are just right for digging holes in the ground."

"Oh Mackenzie. I don't see it. I don't see my cucumber hill either. Something must have dug a hole in the place of my cucumber hill. By the way is the critter adorable?"

"Adorable? A garden digger and you are asking if it's adorable? I don't know what to say to that. It does have an adorable face I'll give that much right now."

"I can bet it must be a mole if it's adorable. Otherwise it could be a rodent."

"I guess it is adorable. But were you saying something about a hole where your cucumber hill is? Then this mole needs a new home. Oh no, it disappeared through the hole it was peeking out of."

"Oh now I see it! It is a mole indeed! Poor thing needs a new home. We can't have moles digging up holes in the garden. What a mess they do make. It's not safe for the mower either to have holes in the ground."

"Right we need to catch that mole and find it a new home. It might even have a family with it. So best to tell mommy."

"Mommy won't be home until around noon and the mole will disappear then. Why don't we call ourselves?"

"I don't know the number and I can't read the phone book. It's too risky. For now we can watch this adorable mole poke itself out of the hole until mommy comes home."

"Aww okay. Be that way. I can barely read myself let alone dial any numbers. I'll wait for mommy to come home then."

"That settles it."
